Electron Loss Cross Sections for a Heavy Ion Beam Probe
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electron loss cross sections of Au and Au2+ by electron and proton impact are calculated by using respectively the Lotz formula and the LOSS and CAPTURE computer codes. The corresponding rate coefficients have also been calculated. Using this information, the signal levels of heavy ion beam probe in the Large Helical Device are estimated. The calculated beam currents at the detector position are compared with the detected beam currents in the MeV energy range for a plasma electron density of 1 × 1019 m−3 and electron temperature of 1.5 keV. The obtained cross section / rate coefficient data can also be used for reconstruction of electron density and temperature profiles.

Evaluation of Multielectron Ionization Cross-Sections in Energetic Ion-Atom Collisions
The use of heavy ions beams with mass of order 100 atomic mass units and energy of order 10 MeV per nucleon has been proposed as a driver for heavy ion fusion. Multi-electron-loss collisions of the beam ions with the background gas atoms result in an increase in the ion charge, which is an unwanted effect for beam propagation through the accelerator and transport regions, and the target chamber...
متن کاملStripping of Fast Heavy Low-Charged Ions in Gases
Electron loss and capture processes arising in collisions of heavy low-charged ions with atoms and ions are the main charge-changing reactions in heavy-ion driven inertial fusion (HIDIF) [1]. However, at present time, virtually no experimental and theoretical data are available for removal processes involving fast heavy low-charged ions. In this work, the projectile-ionization (stripping) cross...
متن کاملSummary of Pressure Rise Workshop*
This article summarizes the 13th ICFA Beam Dynamics Mini-Workshop Beam-Induced Pressure Rise in Rings (BNL, Dec. 9-12, 2003) [1]. BACKGROUND OF WORKSHOP Beam induced pressure rise was an intensity limit at CERN ISR during the early 1970's. The beam gas ionization created pressure rise caused more gas ionization, resulting in pressure run-away at high beam intensity. Extensive baking, chamber tr...

متن کاملThe calculation of radial dose from heavy ions: predictions of biological action cross sections.
The track structure model of heavy ion cross sections was developed by Katz and co-workers in the 1960s. In this model the action cross section is evaluated by mapping the dose-response of a detector to gamma rays (modeled from biological target theory) onto the radial dose distribution from delta rays about the path of the ion. This is taken to yield the radial distribution of probability for ...
